Letters Patent N 94,357, dated August 3l, 1869.

IMPROVED MOTH-PROOF LINING.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it yknown that I, JOSEPH It. SMITH, of the city of' Chicago, in the county of Cook, and- State of Illinois, have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements in Moth-Proof'Lining, and I do hereby fleclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, and to the letters ot' reference marked thereon, like letters indicating like parts wherever they occur.

'To enable others skilled in the art to construct and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it.

The object of my invention consists` in rendering `the receptacles for cloth, furs, and other articles of wearing-apparel or lgoods, moth-proof, by lining the said receptacles on the inside with red-cedar wood, oamphor-wood, or other wood suitable for the purpose, in the manner as will be hereinafter fully explained.

I take thin veneers o'red-cedar Wood, or camphorwood, and l'. paste, glue, or otherwise ai'ix theln on cloth or paper, in such al manner as to make a kind of cloth, with which cloth I line, on the inside, boxes, trunks, drawers of bureaus, or any other receptacle or receptacles in which the wearing-apparel, or any other articles of goods, are to be placed aud keptior the purpose of saving the same from the ravages oi the moth.

The red-cedarwood, carnphor-wood, and some other plier-wood boxes have been used for the same object as mine, yet, I claim, with my moth-proof lining, the same object can be attained far more cheaply, and

. more economically.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire tosecurc by Letters Patent, is-

A new article of manufacture, xnade by uniting a veneer of red-cedar, camphor, or similar wood, with paper or cloth, as herein described, for the purpose of lininfar boxes, trunks, drawers,-&c., as set forth.

JOSEPH R. SMITH.
